Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey 2020 – de l’Enclos

Sparkling yellow, bright reflections

The nose initially reveals slightly smoky hints. Accompanied by ripe pear and caramelized quince, a little toasted almond and wet chalk also appear. One could almost think of a pear tart with almonds. Delicate toasty flavors but mostly pure limestone with some hay and mountain herbs seem promising. Inevitably, thoughts of salty-sweet popcorn suggest themselves. This is typical for the cool north of Burgundy and its purism.

On the palate, the 2020 Vau de Vey is powerful and intense. At the same time, it conveys the purity of a Chablis mercilessly well. Puristic and straightforward. The ripe yellow fruit copes wonderfully with the acidity. On the palate then dryingly sparse with plenty of chalky minerality. Accompanied by a delicate melting finish, it presents the caramel and toasted notes from the nose.
